NOT ABOUT REALITY. “When asked whether the algorithm of quantum mechanics could be considered as somehow mirroring an underlying quantum world, Bohr would answer, "There is no quantum world. There is only an abstract quantum physical description. It is wrong to think that the task of physics is to find out how nature is. Physics concerns what we can say about nature.” https://lnkd.in/eauD5rnp View in LinkedIn

DIVIDED WORLD. “Thus, the apparatus and its pointer are always in definite positions. However, Bohr’s idea seems to be problematic as it suggests that there is a separate classical realm of reality. And it is not at all clear how one could divide up the world in a classical and a quantum part.” https://lnkd.in/eauD5rnp View in LinkedIn

SITUATIONAL ABOVE ALL. “But Bohr also rejects ontological quantum fundamentalism if this is taken to mean that objects are ultimately represented correctly by a wave function. Both because the wave function is symbolic, and because the answer to what an object is, quantum or classical, depends on the context.” https://lnkd.in/eauD5rnp View in LinkedIn

THE FENCE. “This reading of Bohr’s viewpoint might be called restricted quantum universalism. It implies that Bohr rejects epistemological quantum fundamentalism since, in a given experimental context, part of the total system – usually the measuring device – must necessarily be described as classical.” https://lnkd.in/eauD5rnp View in LinkedIn

EITHER OR, NOT BOTH AND. “I think Bohr’s view can be summarized in the claim that any system may in principle be seen as and treated quantum mechanically, but not all systems can be seen as and treated in this way simultaneously.” https://lnkd.in/eauD5rnp View in LinkedIn

Infinity was my first conceptual sculpture in a crude green Girona limestone. Somehow the motif of a snake was involved because the hand sometimes dictates to the Mind. ♾️" "www.nigelfleming.com" "" " @marryme.films" "" "#art #physics #infinity #sculptor #artoftheday #abstractart View in LinkedIn

CONTRADICTORY DATA. “In the field of psychology, cognitive dissonance is the perception of contradictory information. Relevant items of information include a person's actions, feelings, ideas, beliefs, values, and things in the environment. Cognitive dissonance is typically experienced as psychological stress when persons participate in an action that goes against one or more of those things.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dissonance View in LinkedIn

THE LINE. “Bohr insisted that when a measuring apparatus, or parts of it, is treated quantum mechanically, there must then always be a different system which is treated classically.” https://lnkd.in/eauD5rnp View in LinkedIn

Infinity and Zero are the two bookends of mathematics and may be just concepts rather than actual entities. Beyond interesting! ♾️" "www.nigelfleming.com" "" " @marryme.films" "" "#art #physics #infinity #sculptor #artoftheday #abstractart View in LinkedIn
